The Unmaking Lyrics - The Unmaking - Nichole Nordeman

This is where the walls gave way 

This is demolition day 

All the debris and all this dust 

What is left of what once was 

Sorting through what goes and what should stay 

Every stone I laid for you 

As if you had asked me to 

Monument to holy things 

Empty talk and circling 

Isn't that what we're supposed to do? 

What happens now? 

When all I've made is torn down 

What happens next? 

When all of you is all thats left 

This is the unmaking 

Beauty and the breaking 

Had to lose myself to find out who you are 

Before each beginning 

There must be an ending 

Sitting in the rubble 

I can see the stars 

This is the unmaking 

This is the unmaking 

The longer and the tighter that we move 

Only makes it harder to let go 

Love will not stay locked inside 

A steeple or a tower high 

Only when we're broken are we whole 

What happens now? 

When all I've made is torn down 

What happens next? 

When all of you is all thats left 

This is the unmaking 

Beauty and the breaking 

Had to lose myself to find out who you are 

Before each beginning 

There must be an ending 

Sitting in the rubble 

I can see the stars 

This is the unmaking 

This is the unmaking 

I'll gather the same stones where 

Everything came crashing down 

I'll build you an altar there 

On the same ground 

Because what stood before 

Was never yours 

This is the unmaking 

Beauty and the breaking 

Had to lose myself to find out who you are 

Before each beginning 

There must be an ending 

Sitting in the rubble 

I can see the stars 

This is the unmaking 

This is the unmaking 

Oh this is the unmaking 

Had to lose myself 

To find out who you are
